NEWS FLASH

Kish Airlines will commence seasonal flights between Shiraz and Belgrade this summer, becoming the fourth Iranian carrier to serve the Serbian capital. The airline will operate a one weekly service, each Monday, from June 18 until September 10. The carrier has requested an arrival slot at 4.00 CEST in Belgrade, and a departure time of 05.30. Shiraz is Iran's fifth largest city and is located in the southwest of the country. This year, Iran Air, Qeshm Air and Mahan Air all launched services from Tehran to Belgrade. It came after Serbia and Iran abolished visa requirements for each others' nationals. Kish Airlines (often referred to as Kish Air) operates a fleet of fourteen aircraft and serves some thirty destinations.

Not at all. These people have certain expectations in terms of food, accommodation, etc. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for the tourism industry in Serbia. How to get more money out of them?

Nebojsa I'm looking how to make more money out of them. Do they want more Iranian restaurants? What about Persi speakers in hotels and tour guides? There can be many things to invest into to bring additional tourists and make them happy. This does not mean that people of Serbia should stop eating pork :) But as the numbers are growing the infrastructure needs to adapt as well!

Our company trades with Iran so I can tell you that they love anything and everything that's European. This especially applies to products they buy.

Most Iranians are hedonists so make sure you provide them with a comfortable and civilized environment. They are not one of those people who travel abroad to eat Persian cuisine so don't worry about that. They are general liberal and open-minded. Conservative Iranians usually don't travel to Europe.

One thing you should be extremely careful about is politeness. They are generally extremely polite, cultured and very patriotic. There are two insults Iranians will not forgive you for. The first is to compare them to a dog and the other is to say that they are Arabs.

If you are dealing with their tourists you can always point out that Iran sent its first ambassador to Belgrade back in 1921 while the first Oriental language at the Philology Faculty was not Turkish, Arabic or Chinese but Persian (1926). Also, during SFRJ, Iran was the country's biggest trade partner in Asia.

It is fully understandable and legitimate. It is ok to open Iranian restaurant in Belgrade, but don't you think they have enough Iranian food in Iran? :-) Maybe they want to taste Serbian cevapcici or Karadjordjeva made of chicken meat?

Persi speakers in Belgrade is always a nice touch but you can't teach someone that language in few days...It is long term investment.

What I meant in my previous post was that you can't make them special praying room looking at east or make Serbian women wear headscarf in the centre of Belgrade.

I remember when I was in Armenia, on lake Sevan, there was a group of tourists from Iran so wasted that 3 of them slept in the middle of the day... So, iranians mindful of alcohol, food etc, maybe yes, but not middle class in big cities....

That flight was operated on behalf of Israir. They are experiencing issues with their fleet so they had to lease additional capacity. That MAX is not uncommon in BEG, they seem to dispatch it quite regularly.

I am astonished at the interest from Iran (and a few other countries) to Serbia. From very little interest a few months ago to four different airlines, with what, 7-10 weekly flights(?). Is it just because visas are not required? If so is there similar interest in neighbouring countries where visas are not needed?

Thanks for the detailed reply. Had no idea Iranians travel so much. Just wait until sanctions and visas (to most places) are all removed. In a few years there could be 100,000 Iranians visiting Serbia on a regular basis. Great for the economy.
